RE: Anyone "upgraded" bulbs on a Pure (Halogens)

I am a little bit naive when it come to this stuff. I want to change the lights as I am used to HID and the halogens are just a bit too yellow is colour.

I saw these on ebay, will these work ?

12V H3 100W XENON WHITE HALOGEN HEADLIGHT GLOBES/ BULBS

Also the link below is a video of removing the headlight

You don't have to remove the headlamp to change the bulb just unscew the plastic cover inside the hood and it's acessable

Musher,

It was not much more than £30 fitted by them. I watched him do it so will be doing it myself next time

Having just come from a Mazda 5 that had xenons as standard have really struggled with my normal headlights on the evoque, they are not bad but the light from the HID kits is so much cleaner. Interesting I note that both the xenon factory option uses a projector style headlamp and so does my non xenon evoque.

Will be really interested to see how you get on. Should make a real difference, just make sure they are error free bulbs otherwise i think you might get the error codes.

Hopefully this will give you some idea that my upgraded bulbs look about 90% of the LED DRL's. I have also included a photo with the fog lights on (again to aid comparison).Thumbs Up

Hi there, I am looking at upgrading the halogen HB3 bulbs. Can anyone who has already upgraded confirm if both the low and high beam work off the same HB3 bulb?, In otherwords, do you only need to replace two HB3 bulbs in total and not four if they work of separate bulbs?

RE: Anyone "upgraded" bulbs on a Pure (Halogens)

Despite owning my xenon-less Evoque for 4 weeks, tonight was the first time that I've seen the headlights (and foglights) from the outside. DRLs and fog lights = white, headlights = yellow. It looks rubbish!

I've taken a punt on some replacement bulbs with a colour temp of 4500K so they should be a better match. Only cost £11 too. I'll post the results when they arrive...

This happened with my last car (bmw 123 coupe)the forums were full of people wanting to retro fit xenons,bluetooth,sat nav etc....why don't they tick the option box at the time of ordering instead of spending the next couple of years trying to achieve the car they really wanted?
The extra initial outlay if often recouped at time of resale as potential buyers who know what they want will be put off buying your car without the desired factory fitted options.
Rant over.

My order- fuji white sd4 manual coupe,tech pack,xenons,style 6 20's,pano roof,privacy,front fogs,rear camera,folding mirrors,ebony int/ivory headliner,dec delivery.(still waiting!) Collected 14/01/2012
NOW SOLD as of 26/07/14 Very Happy
Now driving Audi SQ5, everything the Evoque should of been.

Well, Vincent, when I ordered the car Xenons were not available and by the time they became available again, the car was committed to build. I could, of course, cancelled my order or paid an extra £7k for the Prestige or Dynamic models but decided against it.
